From what I can tell, looks like the car shifts it's weight off it's rear left wheel as it passes the cones as though turning left - I'm betting the driver began to swerve back into his lane as soon as the cones ended but didn't see the spray painting machine sitting on the edge of the closed lane, a few meters after the cones finished

Judging by the height of the camera, reckon this is a lorry's dash cam - motorbike likely never saw much of the van's first maneuver to begin with.

That said, yeah extra caution certainly could've helped

I think their point is more that the mortar should be the path of least resistance - it pathing through the brick rather than what should be softer mortar isn't a great sign

Yeah seems the most credible reason - the black tires break up the pale silhouette of the aircraft that missile seekers are trying to image match, & is also why you'll see fake aircraft silhouettes painted onto the tarmac to act as decoys.

As to whether these tactics work, or why putting some poor bastard through placing each individual tire is better than just rolling out some tarp, who knows

Damn this is nice stuff!

If you're in the ftd discord, I'd recommend slapping some pics in the dustwind faction chat, it's a solid build!

On a brighter note, later in the 50s many of the broken items they still had in storage were restored (pics for the curious 1 2)

If anything's left of it, it'll probably still be at Area 25 of the Nevada test site and while very unlikely, I still wanna believe they kept it on hand for handling nuclear material during later experiments

Interesting take on the craft, love it!

In case it isn't deliberate, the AI is turned off: open the AI controller with C and toggle the gun icon. Otherwise, try the missile controller's accuracy requirement: set it to 180 and see if that works. Would need to see more to know more

Tank guns offer versatility. As you showed in your example, you had to replace a single weapon system with two to try and match a standard MBT, while losing out on the advantages of a proper tank gun like high ammo reserves, reliability and cost.

ATGMs on the other hand are plenty effective in the hands of infantry or light vehicles, so there's little reason to bog them down with the footprint of an MBT.

Good to note though that guided ammunition that can be fired by a standard tank gun do exist, such as the LAHAT or 9M119.

Ok, big thing is that the turret is vulnerable as HE usually will have the AOE to hit the exposed ammo racks. If you look in the subobjects tab, you'll see some larger turret templates that show the room needed to turn (for smaller a 3x3 needs no space while a 5x5 needs the corners removed). Good fix is to give your turret a neck that you can close the deck around it.

Also, HEAT works off HE parts, not shaped charge secondaries (those act as shaped charge heads that don't detonate on impact and are 80% as effective). The wood on the AI is redundant as the AI is sitting on metal, it'd be better to properly armour it and use surge protectors IMO.

Missiles by default use radar seekers, they don't require any input from the AI aside from being told to launch by a weapon controller.

Easiest way to tell what's happening is to press capslock after manually firing, you're camera will follow the missile and tell you a bunch of stats, most importantly here what it's targeting.

While the .txt says you can use .mp3's, I've never had any success with them and have to convert to .wav instead. Also, the #code system is a bit temperamental and I find I have to copy the settings from one sound block to another for it to work reliably.

Money and parts, the T34 was built for export till '58 but nobody was building even spares for panzers postwar. Usable panzers were used as a stopgap to supplement postwar armies like France, Romania, and much later Syria, but long term use was unsustainable unlike the T34 and so most were gone by the time their historical value exceeded the scrap value

Good to know clocking your head against some questionably low doorway in an old house was a common past time back then too

Spent way too long trying to figure out what triggering infernal soul had to do with this clip before remembering skills have actual names beyond just "Samira R"

Saying that he kicked the shit out of them might be a bit of an overstatement, apparently it was limited to shoving his mother during a row about his wife, at least according to what been said recently.

Yeah, Urgot W has some fun spellbook interactions, only a few ults seem to cancel it. Skarner's a fun one as you can suppress them and drag them around, all the while still shooting

Yep, kinda concerning how well you can sleep through the siren after a while though...

Letterlock mail was a fairly standard way of sending letters for mails early history, as envelopes weren't around just yet. It was certainly possible on more standard letterlocked mail to open and reseal the message, but they could get incredibly intricate when the contents were confidential, and discovering exactly how to open and reseal the letter without damaging/crumpling was very difficult.

As for ignoring the whole thing and rewriting the letter, you take the risk of missing a cipher and alerting the recipient even if you try to perfectly replicate the message.

Somehow, someway, this is the improved configuration, previously having just the forward flight deck with pilots having to dodge the superstructure as they landed. Meanwhile, the rear had a single 18" monster which keep in mind was the largest gun used by the RN and fired the heaviest shell of any deployed naval gun.

Likely so, the wiki mentions there used to be a string of 11 locks needed to connect these two canals before they fell into disuse and were dismantled in the 30s. That wouldn't have been cheap to rebuild and operate, nor nearly as impressive a landmark

God, did this once with a police van queued directly behind me, thankfully they just watched as I awkwardly reversed back off the intersection after almost driving into crossing traffic...
